What do reviewers say about L'Instant de Guerlain and Miel & Citron (Honey & Lemon)?
Maurice Roucel built L'Instant de Guerlain around magnolia as the spine, and it works. The floral heart is substantial but never heavy, and the honey-vanilla base gives it enough warmth to wear.L'Instant de Guerlain
